How the stations are run
North Yorkshire has several rail operators. The National Rail station pages show who manages each station: Northern manages Harrogate, Skipton and Whitby, while TransPennine Express manages Scarborough, Northallerton, Selby and Malton. Other operators call at some of them: LNER's destinations page lists "London to Harrogate" among its popular routes, for example. For train times and fares, use National Rail Enquiries or the operator's site, since timetables and engineering works change often. The details below are the station facts published on the National Rail and Northern pages when this guide was checked.
